Since the Ensemble’s first production of Into The Woods in 2011, Black Box Studios continues its long-term endeavor to bring a new kind of cutting-edge regional theater to Bergen County. This collaborative group of hand-picked local actors along with NY-based rising professionals will slowly-but-surely grow to produce other well-known musicals and plays, as well as develop original works for the stage.

Join our fundraising campaign and be a part of BBS Ensembe. The goal is to raise start-up funds for our first full season, which will run from Summer ’13 to Spring ’14 and feature stagings of a well-known musical, a renown play, workshops of new original material, and special events.

Set in a small town in Kansas in the early 1950s, it focuses on Hal Carter, an attractive young stranger who drifts into town just before the annual Labor Day celebration and sets off a chain of events that prompts various residents to reflect on the present and contemplate an unpromising future.

Into The Woods
